PG's Shawn Hammond is On Location at Line 6 headquarters in Calabasas, CA for the first demo of their new flagship amplifier, the DT50. The DT50 is a collaboration with Reinhold Bogner that features two channels that can be switched between four amp voicings, Class A or Class A/B, and Pentode or Triode. The amp integrates Bogner's EL34 tube power section with Line 6's new HD amp modeling and Line 6 LINK technology.

Premier Guitar's Shawn Hammond is On Location in Calabasas, CA at Line 6 headquarters for the first demo of their new HD amp modeling technology. In this video, we get to listen to some of the models in the POD HD400. The POD HDs include 16 new amp models. The 16 HD amp models offer an incredibly wide array of amp tones, and they do so with previously unachievable realism. They are inspired by* a variety of immortal modern and vintage guitar amplifiers including a Fender® Twin Reverb®, Hiwatt® Custom 100, Supro® S6616, Gibson® EH-185, Divided by 13 JRT 9/15, Dr. Z® Route 66, Vox® AC-30 (Top Boost), Marshall® JTM-45 MkII, Park 75, Mesa/Boogie® Dual Rectifier®, ENGL® Fireball 100, and more. (Recognizable amplifiers modeled for previous POD products have been re-modeled for POD HD using the new HD amp modeling technology.)

Hello fellow Tone Freqs!!!
I know it's been a LONG while since the site has been updated. Work travel and running the Sorcerer Radio/Live365 internet radio station has been taking up a lot of time as of late. Not to mention the fact that my wife's cooking and website has been taking off and I've been really involved in making that a success. Did I mention I also performed with my old band the Everafters on Black Friday? Something had to give at some point.

That said I have not abandoned the site... in fact our Twitter feed is alive and well at @ToneFreqPodcast delivering mini-reviews and cool video demos that I find on youtube! Over the next few weeks I will also be redesigning the site and relaunching our podcast on iTunes. There were several interviews I conduced late summer/early fall that I will be releasing and I hope to make a nice long podcast every month, that's the goal.

At any rate thanks to those of you who still check out the page with my news feeds and Twitter updates.
